I am having trouble breathing, feeling like there's a clamp on my lungs, and struggling to take deep breaths. I've had this issue on and off for years, but it's gotten worse recently. I've never been diagnosed with asthma before, but I've used an inhaler in the past without relief. I'm 40 years old, take finesteride, and have had a guttate psoriasis outbreak in the past. I don't smoke cigarettes but do smoke weed occasionally. Could this be asthma or something else?

I have an internal hemorrhoid and have problems with constipation right now. The stool is hard to pass, and I don't want to strain. Is a stool softener like Colace a good choice to take right now?

I started feeling sick on February 4th with symptoms including throat pain, headache, and fatigue. The symptoms subsided but returned around February 10th. I'm unsure if I had a fever and I don't feel nauseous, but I'm worried it might be related to my sinus problems. Additionally, I'm concerned about potential HIV exposure from a blood draw three weeks ago. What should I do for my symptoms and should I get an HIV RNA test at 20 days post-exposure?

Can I get a doctor's note for sick leave, and what medicine can I use for my symptoms after having COVID-19?

I am a 42-year-old female with no known medical conditions, but recent lab tests show slightly high cholesterol and pre-diabetes. For the past month, I have been experiencing weakness and throbbing, burning pain on the left side of my body, which worsens with activity or rest. My hand is stiff, and I also have headaches, middle upper back pain, and soreness in the middle of my back. What could this be?

I got fillers under my eye almost a month ago. The bruising was severe and lasted 3 weeks. Now, I have discoloration that my injector says is PIH (Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). They recommended using Obagi skin bleaching cream. How long could this discoloration take to improve, and is it possible for it to go away completely?
